SPOT Gen3™ – Satellite SOS & tracking device beyond mobile coverage
For hiking, climbing, skiing, fishing and the sea: send pre-programmed messages and an SOS signal over a satellite network (not GSM) – so your people know where you are when there is no signal.
What if something unexpected happens on a hike, a climb or a ski trip? If a storm catches you at sea or on the mountain? If you want a quick check-in from a remote summit?
The SPOT Gen3™ is a portable satellite communication and tracking device that lets you:
- send pre-programmed messages to family/friends (SMS or email),
- make a Check-in to say you're OK, with GPS coordinates,
- send an SOS signal in an emergency,
- enable tracking so your people can follow your route.
SOS
At the press of a button, your GPS coordinates are transmitted to the International Emergency Response Coordination Center (GEOS), so the appropriate responders are notified based on your location.
SOS for emergencies onlyCHECK-IN
Send a pre-programmed message (SMS or email) with GPS coordinates to up to 10 predefined contacts. The location is saved to your SPOT account for later reference.
Up to 10 contactsHELP
Alert your personal contacts for help in incidents that are not immediately life-threatening. The device tries to send the message even if it cannot get an exact GPS lock, without a precise position.
Non-emergency helpCUSTOM MESSAGE
Preset a message of your own and send it with your location when you are outside mobile networks.
Custom messageTRACKING
Let friends/family follow your progress online (near real-time), with track points saved so you can replay the route later.
